Hello! I am Coach McLees, and this is my first year teaching. I graduated from Travelers Rest High School in 2021. Following high school, I attended The Citadel Military College of South Carolina, and graduated from there in May of 2025. 

I recently got married in June of 2025 to my middle school sweetheart, Kat. We have a mini aussiedoodle, Millie, and she is the best girl. I grew up living in Travelers Rest, then spent four years in Charleston, SC while I attended college. After graduating and getting married, we were ecstatic to move back to our hometown, Travelers Rest. I enjoy playing golf, coaching, spending time with my family and friends, and playing fetch with Millie (which is her all-time favorite thing). I coach football and wrestling at Travelers Rest High School. 

Some of my favorite things:

• Reese's cups, Dr. Pepper, Cheezits, Chipotle, Chick-fil-a, and Firehouse Subs.
